Well I thought it was a great race! Guess I was a little overly excited, but I think being right up there with CJ (arguably a top 2 American) is a great sign

Fauble and Rupp were both quicker than CJ in the last year
Based on training I think CJ is better than Fauble, it just didn’t work out for him in that one race. So I think this was a great sign from PS…he will probably be a factor at the trials
How is 2:13/2:14 even relevant in US running? If he’s not 2:10 or faster he’s not “back”. unless you mean back to the drawing board.
With apparently a huge and consistent tailwind for almost the entire race. The number of PRs I saw on Strava from friends racing it was unlike any other marathon outside of REVEL madness.

You should rank marathoners based on marathon race results not training.

Maybe that explains why I love CJ and the Stinman so much!

Yeah except Medals, Olympic spots, National titles etc are not based on training sessions, it's about how and what you do on the day. But maybe CJ had a bad day, let's look at them side by side...
Yeah I think you demonstrate pretty nicely there how CJ is probably rated higher (5 sub 2:12 vs only 3 for Faubs) and certainly a more consistent runner

See what you're doing is called Statistical Bias. You're warping the results to fit your view. I can do that too. ie: "Fauble is probably rated higher (6x 2:12's or under vs. CJ's 5x)"
The fact of the matter is Fauble has 3x run under CJ's PR. You're arguing a 2:10 guy is the same as a 2:08 guy. Get a grip.
